Chapter 664: Treachery

A hint of unease finally appeared on the humanoid fish being's face, and it attempted to swing its blue fishing rod through the air, but its movements were extremely slow and sluggish in Han Li's time spirit domain, so it was unable to react before the oncoming attacks struck the blue vortexes around it.

An earth-shattering boom rang out as radiant light of different colors erupted into the heavens, presenting a blinding sight.

The blue vortexes trembled violently, and a series of cracks appeared over them. The cracks quickly spread, following which the vortexes collapsed to reveal the humanoid fish being behind them.

"Die!" Feng Lin yelled as she thrust her palms forward, and the black light radiating from the black seal brightened even further as it hurtled directly toward the creature.

Ren Hao also let loose a low roar before swinging an arm through the air, sending the giant blue sword crashing down upon the creature.

A hint of panic finally appeared on the humanoid fish creature's face, and it opened its mouth to release a cloud of dense blue mist, which drifted toward the black seal and the blue sword while the creature sprang back toward the pond.

At the same time, blue light flashed erratically over its body, releasing violent time law power fluctuations, and it was quickly recovering its speed and agility.

"You're not getting away!" Han Li yelled as he flipped a hand over to summon the small golden lock, then opened his mouth to release a burst of golden light into it.

The lock instantly lit up with dazzling golden radiance, transforming into a ball of golden light that vanished into the time spirit domain in a flash.

In the next instant, a giant golden lock appeared beside the humanoid fish creature amid a flash of golden light, and it locked itself around one of the creature's arms.

Immediately thereafter, a giant rune emerged from the lock before encompassing the creature's entire body.

Thanks to the support provided by Han Li's time spirit domain, the rune released by the golden lock was several times larger than before, and not only was it able to trap the humanoid fish creature, most of the blue mist around the creature was also encompassed within it.

Both the humanoid fish creature and the cloud of blue mist were instantly immobilized, and in the next instant, the black seal and the blue sword came crashing down upon the creature's body in unison.

A dull thump rang out as the creature's body exploded into a burst of blue liquid that splattered in all directions.

Much of the blue liquid splattered onto the immortal treasures being wielded by Han Li's trio, and a sizzling sound instantly rang out as the spiritual light on the surfaces of the three immortal treasures flashed erratically, then began to rapidly dim, as if they were being subjected to severe corrosion.

Ren Hao hurriedly withdrew his blue sword to avoid further damage, but right at this moment, Han Li and Feng Lin shot right past him, flying toward the blue pond without any regard for their respective immortal treasures. Thi/s chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.co/m

Ren Hao also sprang into action upon seeing this, letting loose a loud roar as he shot forward as quickly as he could, but ultimately, he was too slow to react, and at this point, Han Li and Feng Lin had already arrived above the pond.

Feng Lin swept a hand through the air, releasing a burst of black light to envelop the blue flute, while Han Li released a burst of azure light, which transformed into a large azure hand that grabbed onto the blue shield.

The shield was slightly cool and soft to the touch, but was also quite resilient and sturdy.

A hint of elation flashed through Han Li's eyes, and he was just about to stow the shield away when he noticed something out of the corner of his eye.

The space beside him was rippling slightly, and immediately thereafter, a crimson bead appeared out of thin air.

Ren Hao stared at Han Li with an astonished expression for a moment, then fled toward the stairwell as a blue shadow.

A cold sneer appeared on Han Li's face as he instantly released his time spirit domain to encompass the entire hall, and Ren Hao's escape immediately slowed down to a crawl.

Immediately thereafter, Han Li appeared in front of him amid a flash of golden lightning, then swept a sleeve through the air to summon nine Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.

The nine swords combined into a single giant azure sword at his behest, and he swung the sword down upon Ren Hao with tremendous power.

An earth-shattering boom rang out as Ren Hao shot back like a cannonball before crashing heavily into a wall, causing the entire hall to tremble violently.

He immediately scrambled to his feet with a horrified look on his face, having donned a suit of blue armor that consisted of countless blue scales.

He was also wearing a helmet that resembled a dragon's head, while his limbs were sheathed in protective armor that resembled dragon claws. It was as if he had suddenly transformed into a blue dragon.

The nostrils on the helmet were dilating and contracting incessantly as if they were breathing, and the entire suit of armor was giving off an incredibly formidable draconic aura.

However, there was currently a large gash on the shoulder of the suit of armor, clearly having just been inflicted by Han Li's sword strike.

"That's the Dragon Battle Armor of the Black Soil Immortal Region's Holy Dragon Palace!" Feng Lin exclaimed at the sight of the suit of blue armor, and a hint of surprise appeared on Han Li's face upon hearing this.

Upon arriving in the Black Soil Immortal Region, he had been reading extensively to learn as much as he could about the immortal region, and during the process, he was able to accumulate a great deal of knowledge pertaining to all of the major sects in the immortal region.

The Holy Dragon Palace was one such sect, and it was founded by a formidable cultivator who carried a true dragon bloodline. Hence, the dragon was a symbol of reverence for the sect, which ranked among the top five sects of the Black Soil Immortal Region.

Furthermore, the Holy Dragon Palace excelled in refining all types of immortal treasures and armor, and in particular, the armor that it produced wasn't inferior even compared with the armor refined by the Hundred Creations Mountain.

During a conversation with Daoist Master Jingyang in which they had discussed matters related to tool refinement, Daoist Master Jingyang had mentioned this sect with a great deal of praise and respect.

As it turned out, the armor of the Holy Dragon Palace truly did live up to its resounding reputation, allowing Ren Hao to survive that all-out sword strike from Han Li.

"You think a mere suit of armor will be enough to save your life?" Han Li sneered, and instead of immediately pouncing at Ren Hao, he remained still on the spot as nine balls of light of different colors erupted out of his body, then took on the form of a series of true spirit projections.

In addition to Han Li's previous collection of true spirit bloodlines, he now also possessed the Nightmare Dragon bloodline, which he had obtained from Qu Ling.

After slaying Qu Ling, Han Li had taken her body, and while traversing through the primordial land, he had taken the time to refine Qu Ling's Nightmare Dragon bloodline and integrate it into his own body.

All of a sudden, all of the true spirit projections vanished into Han Li's body at his behest, and in the next instant, he transformed into a purplish-golden devilish deity with three heads and six arms.

With a flick of his wrist, nine time law threads shot forth before fusing into the giant azure sword in his grasp, and a row of golden runes instantly appeared on its surface.

The nearby world's origin qi shuddered, then converged to form countless specks of five-colored light that surged toward the giant sword from all directions, drastically enhancing its already formidable aura.
